Answer:

See explanation

2x^2+5x+3=(x+1)(2x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Make sure that the trinomial is written in the correct order - the trinomial must be written in descending order from highest power to lowest power. In you case, the trinomial must be written as

2x^2+5x+3

2. Decide if the three terms have anything in common, called the greatest common factor or GCF. If so, factor out the GCF. Do not forget to include the GCF as part of your final answer.

In your case, coefficients 2, 5 and 3 do not have common factors, so go to the next step.

3. Multiply the leading coefficient and the constant, that is multiply the first and last numbers together:

2\cdot 3=6

4. List all of the factors from step 3 and decide which combination of numbers will combine to get the number next to x:

6=1\cdot 6\\ \\ \bf{6=2\cdot 3}

5. After choosing the correct pair of numbers, you must give each number a sign so that when they are combined they will equal the number next to x and also multiply to equal the number found in Step 3:

2+3=5

6. Rewrite the original problem with four terms by splitting the middle term into the two numbers chosen in step 5:

2x^2+5x+3=2x^2+2x+3x+3

7. Now that the problem is written with four terms, you can factor by grouping:

2x^2 +2x+3x+3=(2x^2+2x)+(3x+3)=2x(x+1)+3(x+1)=(x+1)(2x+3)

X and Y intercept equations x +2y =18
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

(0,9) and (18,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x-intercept, set y = 0.  Note how this equation x + 2y = 18 becomes x = 18.  Thus, the x-intercept is (18,0).


To find the y-intercept, set x = 0.  Then 2y = 18, and y = 9.  The y-intercept is (0,9).

What is the number written in standard notation?
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

option B

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number which is written in the standard form,5 \times {10}^{3}

We expand {10}^{3} and multiply by 5 to get

= 5 \times (10 \times 10 \times 10)

=5\times 1000

=5000

Hernando ate StartFraction 2 Over 8 EndFraction of a pizza for a dinner. He gave his 6 friends the rest of the pizza and told th
ozzi

Answer:

Yes, they are correct. Hernando divided 6 by 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Hernando ate 2/8 of a pizza for dinner.

Let the pizza be x. Then:

Hernando ate \dfrac{2}{8} \ \ o f  \ \ x

Then he gave the rest of the pizza to his friends

Hernando now carried out the  following calculations to support his activities;

\dfrac{6}{8} \div 6= \dfrac{6 \div 6}{8}= \dfrac{1}{8}

\dfrac{6}{8} \times \dfrac{1}{6}= \dfrac{6 \div 6}{8}= \dfrac{1}{8}

From the above calculation; we will see that Hernando divided 6 by 6 in both cases to get \dfrac{1}{8}.

Thus, the correct answer is:

Yes, they are correct. Hernando divided 6 by 6.
